The Gloss from Elbow Grease.

A skilled lsundryman, when asked
what was the secret of his work, re-
piled: "The secret is pressure, nothing
more" The pressure of hot cylinders
is used in steam laundries. In a recent
visit to steam laundry we were much
interested in the patent appliances for
laundering collars and cuffs to make
them look like new, and we found that
the linen was passed between two NOV.
ing hot cylinders under pressure Of
100 pounds, and thus receives the high
polish.
The ordinary ironer will succeed we'll
if after being sure the articles are
washed thoroughly, rinsed free from all
traces of soap and dipped in pure, clean
starch, she will use clean, smooth irons
and bear down heavily upon the round
top of the iron in rubbing the linen.
There are starches of various kinds,
patent CLOSES and divers inventions
said to produce polish upon linen:
but the better way is to depend upon
the common starch bought in the bulk
and of the best grade. Some laun-
dresses stir the hot starch once or twice
round with spermaceti candle kept
for the purpose, and others add bit
of clean mutton tallow; but foreign
substances, like wax, gum arabic, salt
or sugar, must be added with caution.
Very nice laundry work is done by the
aid of pure starch alone, with no addi-
ticns. CaIltivGtor.

A PENNSYLVANIA farmer near Phm-
nixville is waging a successful war on
the grounding, which, as every farmer
knows, does much damage to meadows.
His method is to fill large beer OF
porter bottle with powder, letting q
fuse run through the cork. He then
places the bottle in the groundhogs
hole, with the fuse projecting outside.
taking care to pack the earth tightly
at the mouth of the hole and close up
firmly all other holes leading to the
home of the doomed animal. Then the
fuse is fred, and the result is that all
the groundhogs in the hole are killed
by the conclusion.

A lawyer by profession, but Judge
in one of the highest courts in New
] York for twenty-three years, is noted
for methodical habits, legal acumen and
perfect integrity. Long past so, erect
and vigorous as q man of 40, he cannot
count day lost by sickness in quarter
of century. At his post as regularly
as the sun rises, after adjournment he
writes out the opinions of the court,
which already fill several large volumes.
No man in the city is more worthy of
the universal regard which he long
since secured. Having long known
Judge Blank, l once asked him the
secret of his power.
"Plain living" he replied, "has been
my salvation. I was a nervous youth,
high-strung and exciable. I smoked,
drank occasionally, and was given to
rich food. Shortly after being admitted
to the bar, I found myself the victim of
dyspepsia. began to study my habits
and their influence on mind and body.
I experimental with food, drinks, and
exercise. The result was in fixing a
rule of life which have since followed
infexibly. After plain but sub
stantial breakfast, I loiter about an
hour or two and then walk to the court
house, or q distance equal to three
miles or more. Having previously had
the room well ventilated, stay in the
building, occupied, except an hour at
noon, with my judicial duties. The
other judges take hearty lunch; I eat
nothing. At o'clock am through for
the day, and walk up town again. Rain
or shine, cold or hot, finds me swinging
my arms and plodding along in the
same gait. All legal work is dismissed
as utterly from my mind as if never
knew Coke and Blackstone. eat
hearty dinner; take no made dishes, no
Worcestershire sauce or infaming con-
diments, no pudding, pie, ice-cream, or
custards, and drink no wine. I have
sense of comfort but not of repletion,
feel no desire for intoxicating liquors,
and make it business to thoroughly
digest my food, eaten twice day, no
more. I am frequently compelled to
attend dinners, banquets, and festivals
of every kind. But neither entreaty
nor ridicule can induce me to change
my habits. Even a dish of ice-cream
cannot tempt me. Good Hoasekeep-
ina.

Mr.. Kreitner, the Consul for Austria
Hungary at Yokohama, has published
in Vienna journal an elaborate and
interesting report upon Japan, from
which we take q few extracts: The
kingdom consists of 100 islands (in-
Guiding the Kurile and Liu-Kiu groups),
the vast majority of which are OF sub
marine volcanic creation, while only
the four larger ones-Yesso, Niphon,
Shikoku, and Kiusiu-have been de-
tached from the continent by depressions
and inundations. The best harbors
are: Matsmai and Hokadadi, in Yesso /;
ldsu, Yokohama, Schimidzu, Toba,
Matoya, Nugata, Kobe, Nsgoua, and
Mttaroi, in Nippon; Jackamatsu and
Sanuki, in Shikoku; Kagosima and
Nagasaki. in Klusilu FAST Yama, H.
200 feet in height, has been inactive
since 1707, when terrible eruption oc-
Cured, spreading destruction far and
wide; similar catastrophes are recorded
to have happened at intervals of ITO
years since 286 B. c., and it is gen.
eral belief, therefore, that fresh out
break is imminent Earthquakes,
though frequent, never lose their
terror; it is calculated that at least one
entire town falls a victim to their raw
ages every seven years, and in 1856
Toxic suffered the loss of 16, 900 houses
and an equal number of Inhabitants.
The difference of climate in the northern
and southern isles is as great as that
between Iceland and Sicily and though
nowhere is it absolutely inimical to the
wealth of Europeans, yet its extreme
humidity and mutability are source of
serious discomfort. The coal mines
are now worked on modern principles
and with improved machinery. The
output in 1881 was 700, 900 tons. For
eign vessels can always get sufficient
supply at Negasakif. The existence of
petroleum has been known for CEN
turtles, but began to be in use only fifty
years ago. It would be of the very
best quality if properly cleansed. In
1883, 1850 new wells were opened. at
depths varying from thirty to 300 yards.
Mines are Government property. They
are let out to natives at high royalties,
and are, moreover, subject to excep-
heavy taxation. Foreigners
are excluded from all participation in
them except as engineers.

FooD makes Blood and Blood makes
Beauty. Improper digestion of food neoes-
sarily produces bad blood, resulting in Q
feeling of fullness in the stomach, acidity,
heartburn, sick headache, and other dys-

causes Indigestion, constipation, biliousness

troubles there is no remedy equal to Prick y
